Tesco's turnover is 47.3 billion pounds and they employ 273028 people (from

and it takes just 21 minutes of sales each day to pay the entire workforce.

Funnily enough it doesn't seem to say on any article...  I found one that 
said it was 2000 per ton, but that was from a long time ago - maybe it's 
around 4000 now?
